Today the Lawrence area will see partly cloudy skies and temperatures climbing into the upper 80s, Schack said. There are some clouds moving in from the west, but most of the thunderstorm activity will fire up in north central Kansas and in Nebraska, she said.

At 8 a.m., Lawrence's temperature was 67 degrees with calm winds and a relative humidity of 87 percent.
